Sport: Consistently inconsistent

If you watch as much sport as me, you will surely have long ago come to the same conclusion that I have: sport can be very confusing.

Last month, I wrote about the crucial importance of consistency throughout the hectic schedule during the festive period, and this has been seen again this year; Liverpool have gone through the gears to open up a six-point gap with a game in hand, while challengers Arsenal and Chelsea faltered, and at the other end of the table, teams who have not found form are starting to be cut adrift.

However, the festive schedule has once again also thrown up its usual array of crazy matches and shock upturns and slumps in form across the country, thrilling and surprising in equal measure, and this all highlights how unpredictable sport can be.
